Answer:
I believe it's (2d - 1) • (d + 2)
Explanation:
Step-1 : Multiply the coefficient of the first term by the constant 2 • -2 = -4
Step-2 : Find two factors of -4 whose sum equals the coefficient of the middle term, which is 3 .
-4 + 1 = -3
-2 + 2 = 0
-1 + 4 = 3 That's it
Step-3 : Rewrite the polynomial splitting the middle term using the two factors found in step 2 above, -1 and 4
2d2 - 1d + 4d - 2
Step-4 : Add up the first 2 terms, pulling out like factors :
d • (2d-1)
Add up the last 2 terms, pulling out common factors :
2 • (2d-1)
Step-5 : Add up the four terms of step 4 :
(d+2) • (2d-1)
Which is the desired factorization
Answer - (2d - 1) • (d + 2)
